You know, Steam is also like Steam, for indie games . No really, they distribute a crapload of indie stuff.

Er, kinda beside the point though I guess. It's highly doubtful you could get a Construct game onto Steam. I read somewhere that Konjak tried getting one of his games on there, but they didn't go for it simply because it was made with MMF2. So, um. Nevermind

Isn't Nifflas' Saira made with MMF2 too? I've been under that assumption. Then again he has recognition but so does Konjak so that doesn't make much sense to me. I've crawled through the Steam developer documentation and remember reading that one shouldn't primarily aim to use Steam as a release platform if one isn't able to meet a bunch of standards and API integrations on the application itself.

To me it seemed like integrating a lot of the required code would need you to be able to control the compilation of the executable to an extend that sounds like a lot of trouble to do with a piece of software like MMF2.

Hardly racist. It's easy to think that an indie developer wouldn't have the resources to provide localisation and support to meet the platform standards. It's not like you can just throw Valve an exe and expect to see the money flow.

if its a great game, yea i have my right to expect a money flow, especialy if people are allready buying my game. especially when i see two games on steam who are absolutly horrible and they somehow magically made it into steam. kidding me right?

hey jayjay i wrote to desura, but do they need to approve the game, or i can upload it myself? (payed game)

Indeed it was. Besides, there are also games made with Adventure Game Studio available on Steam. In other words, whatever tool you make your game with shouldn't be a limiting factor in regards to getting your game on Steam provided that your game is good.

It's not like Steam requires any localization from games, though. Indie developers surely aren't expected to do that. Neither do they really require the developers to give any more support to their game than they normally would, though I guess one could expect more support requests due to having more visibility thanks to Steam, but I don't think the developers would mind that at all.

Oh yeah... hmm. Maybe there was more to the konjak story then.

I don't think Steam cares if you think your game is better than other games on Steam. It's not like being egotistical is a submission requirement.
